Refine naming and wording in the existing-user link flow.

Rename `Profile_Authenticator` to `Existing_User_Authenticator`, and rename the `profile-connect` CSS class to `existing-user-connect-button` so the names match the flow. Keep the `CONNECT` prefix on the nonce constant.

Rename `render_profile_admin_notices` to `render_profile_admin_errors` since the method only renders errors. Switch the profile-page tag output to use `Web_Tag::register()` instead of a separate `render_tag()` method, so the tag follows the same rendering pattern as the other flows. Add a test that confirms the existing-user flow is picked when WooCommerce is also loaded.

Drop jargon from docblocks, inline comments, and assertion messages. Replace "short-circuit", "anti-vacuous", "hooked", "forces", "wired up", "piggyback", and "win" with plain English. Match project conventions by removing typed properties and void return types that weren't used anywhere else in `includes/`.
